Luke Thomas is joined by Oscar Willis on a Friday edition of Morning Kombat.

Former UFC heavyweight Jailton Almeida was released from the organization. Almeida recently lost against Rizvan Kuniev, which had to have played a role in his dismissal given how boring the fight was. Almeida was ranked 8th at the time of his release. Is a fighter like this - highly-ranked but lopsided in skills and often boring - being cut good or bad for a division in need?

Nate Diaz put out a recent social media message that seemed to indicate perhaps an imminent return to the Octagon. What is the appetite from fans for a Diaz return?

And Dana White recently told BC that the UFC White House event will be the organization's most-watched card ever.
